LEEK 'N LAMB STEW (MEAL IN ONE POT)
This is a little different than the stews I could find on Zaar. It is by Philomena Corradeno's Chopping Block with a few small changes by me. Serve with a green salad and some crusty bread to sop up the sauce. If you wish you may thicken the sauce by adding 2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water for the final 15 minutes of cooking. I like mine with out the thickening.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the lamb and brown evenly. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside. Add the leeks and saute until soft. Add the butter and melt. Add the flour to make a roux. Turn the heat down to low, and cook the roux until it is brown, about 15 minutes. Whisk in the beer and stock. Add the tomatoes and the reserved lamb, bring to a simmer, and cover. Simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours.
- While the lamb mixture is simmering, combine the parsnips, carrots, potatoes and garlic in a large bowl. Toss with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper and rosemary sprigs. Place the vegetables in a roasting pan and place in a 400-degree oven. Roast for 45 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Remove the vegetables from the oven and discard the rosemary sprigs. Add the roasted vegetables and the peas to the lamb mixture. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the chopped rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Add the thinly sliced leeks to a pot of heated oil and fry for 3 minutes, or until crisp. Remove the leeks from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season the leeks with salt. Garnish the stew with the fried leeks.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, organic vegetables and pasture-raised lamb will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew.
- Brown the lamb before stewing it. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to your stew. Some good options include leeks, carrots, celery, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Add herbs and spices to taste. Common spices used in lamb stew include rosemary, thyme, sage, and black pepper.
- Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
